Most frozen pipe failures don’t happen during the freeze — they happen during the thaw.
As temperatures rise, pressure changes can cause small cracks or weakened fittings to release water quickly. Areas to keep an eye on as things warm up:
• Under sinks
• Around showers and tubs
• Behind appliances and washing machines
If you notice moisture, staining, or pooling water, addressing it promptly can help prevent further damage to building materials and indoor air quality.
